NOVEMBER 41
In
On Tuesday evening at
press tilne, the Goldendale
Lady Timberwolves' varsity
volleyball team, pla3ing in dis-
trier competition at Burbank,
whipped Warden to advance
to district semifinals on
Saturday.
The Wolves, ranked fourth
in the state according to the
Yakima tlerald Republic,
made it quick and painless,
winning 25-13, 25-12, 25-11.
'q'iffany Ferch had I think
the best match of her career,"
said head coach Jodi Bellamy,
calling in the result. Ferch had
seven kills and a stuff block,
Bellamy said; Ashley Dyment
added nine kills, Tessa Conroy
five, and backcourt stars
Jessica Perez and Hanna
Balcom, unbeatable all year,
had 15 digs between them.
The win comes one week
after the girls clinched the
2004 league title by beating
White Swan at home on Oct.
26, 23-25, 25-19, 25-16, 25-9.
In that contest, Conroy had 11
kills, Dyment 14 and Alanda
Seifert 13. Balcom, Perez and
Hillary Moss combined for 26
digs and Jessie Davenport had
38 assists.
The girls' season closer, a
26-24, 20-25, 25-11, 25-19 win
over Zillah at home on
Thursday, cemented an unde-
feated lo-o season. Ferch,
Dyment, Conroy, Seifert and
Moss overpowered the
Leopard defense with 29 kills,
Seifert adding lo aces and
Perez and Balcom 16 digs.

got a serious tournament-
preparation shakedown at the
East Valley tournament, play-
ing against no fewer than three
2A teams. A loss to Cascade
(25-16, 21-25, 10-15) was fol-
lowed by wins over Naches
Valley (25-11, 25-1o) and East
Valley (25q8, 27-25).
"That put us second in our
pool and matched us against at
good 1A team in Okanogan,"
Bellamy recounted. "The six
juniors we had played a very
spirited, tight match, some
playing in places they had not
played all year. We won the
match in three sets with scores
of 25-27, 27-25, and 18-16.
Can't get any closer than that!"
Bellamy praised the team's
big plays with matches on the
line.
"It was what we needed to
do and they got it done!
Making big plays when the
game is on the line - that
experience should be helpful
the rest of the way!
With the win against
Okanoagan, the girls finished
third out of eight teams.
X-C runner, Better, finishes 5th at district
For the third year in a
row, Melissa Better is head-
ed to state.
The Goldendale High
School cross-country run-
ner finished fifth among
girls competing at the dis-
trict tournament on
Saturday in Selah.
Better's time was
21:95:16; the winner,
Brooke Mortensen of Zillah,
crossed the finish line in
2o:5o:63.
According to coach Dick
Patzer, Better fell as far
back as 15th early in the
race, then struggled back,
passing ten runners in the
process - no easy feat.
"She would not allow her-
self not to go to state,"
Patzer said.

Powers, a junior, will have
another shot next year,
Patzer noted.
Also finishing the course
for Goldendale were Karl
Stout (28:55:60), Sarah
Garnett (32:o6:36), and for
the boys, Cameron Carter
(24:26:35).
The state meet will be
held on Saturday in Pasco.
Timberwolves lose on the road,
On the road Friday against the league's sec-
ond-place team, the 7-1 Granger Spartans,
Goldendale High School's varsity football
team clawed its way to a respectable 48-2o
loss.
"We could have moved the ball more con-
sistently," said head coach Doyle Payne. "And
we were missing two starters - that hurt us a
bunch."
But there were bright spots, of course.
"It was fun to see [Daniel] Sanchez have a
great night. TJ [Lund] has had one, Travis
[Cleveland] had one; now Sanchez has, too,"
Payne said.
Almost precisely mirroring Cleveland's
accomplishment of three weeks ago, Sanchez
caught two Shane Bare passes for touch-
downs, one of 69 yards to close the third quar-
ter and another of 65 to open the fourth.
After the Wolves answered the Spartans'
opening-drive touchdown with one of their
own, on a 6o-yard Cody Hamilton run,
Granger then ran the score to 22-6

Klickitat Vandals' valiant effort falls short of state
The Klickitat Lady Vandals' volleyball team
- all eight of them - pulled off the improba-
ble by beating the 8-3 La Salle Lightning in
five sets to kick off the 2oo4 Columbia B-
League finals tournament in Goldendale on
Saturday.
Aryn Davis, Sherry Brewer, Erin Draeger,
Deidra Clack, Melissa Huwe and Trisheena
Keys, with Alana Carter and Kali Linville
coming off the bench, staged one impressive
comeback after another, winning 24-26, 27-
25, 23-25, 25-22, 18-16.
An apparent scorekeeper's error left the
girls on the floor, not sure whether they had
won or not, before officials finally awarded
them the match.
